It was also resolved that Ondo State must fully automate revenue collection, expand the revenue sources, and block revenue leakages; while MDAs must prioritize and align capital projects with realistic budgetary provisions to ensure timely completion of key developmental projects.
In a communique signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Princess Oladunni Odu and the Head of Service, Pastor John Adeyemo, all MDAs are to adhere strictly to the provisions of Ondo State’s Public Procurement Law (2017), and also engage in peer review with sister agencies both within and outside the State for better performance.
Furthermore, Multilateral and bilateral funding opportunities are to be fully explored for the benefit of the State, even as synergy between political heads and technocrats are to be fostered and adherence to provisions of the regulatory books observed in all official actions.
